Enjoyed a nice lunch for the first time here. Took my Mom out to lunch and she recommended this establishment. It was great. One of our benchmarks is how hot the soup comes out, it was hot and tasty. We enjoyed the CranAlmond Chicken salad sandwich. The clerk that waited on us, was nice and patient for newbies to look at the menu!

Such a cool place! We just randomly decided to stop in Watertown and have a quick bite to eat, maybe grab a coffee, and as we drove through town past all the franchise places, we ended up here. Very eclectic and cozy spot with fresh food and beverages. The place was very clean and stylish, and the owner who was working at the register was super friendly. I would definitely recommend this place and we look forward to visiting again!

Unique, quaint ambiance and delicious, homemade food! This is not a franchise—it is a real gem in Watertown!

Driving through town in need of coffee and some breakfast we found this GEM. Drove past all the chain places to support local. It was the cutest coffee shop I have ever been in, I could have stayed half the day just to enjoy every comfy sitting nook. The coffee and lattes we had were delicious, and the breakfast items were yummy and vegan friendly. The staff was friendly and efficient. We will be back when passing through town again. Until next time.

Literally the most amazing chicken salad sandwich. Could eat it every single day.

Like the Iced coffee, service sucks.My brother ordered a scotcharoo. I ordered a cinnamon roll. I ate my dry, tasteless, devoid of cinnamon piece if bread with frosting ( buy one get one free - no doubt) as my brother waited at the table for his bar. He was given a number placard, so we were assuming it would be delivered to our table. 20 minutes later.... no bar. Finally he went up and asked for it, no longer wanting it. There was no apology presented to us customers. Why have table numbers if no one is going to bring you order? Quite the price for it too. Im kinda sorry I tipped. Place was not busy.

Cute, clean, and cozy! My latte was perfection.

I’ve been coming here for a month since I found out about Backroads ! It is a very comfy, vibrant low key spot for some great drinks and pastries. I’ve tried almost all the pastries and the best ones are the chocolate croissant and muffins. Cinnamon rolls and Scones are alright, nothing crazy. Prices are ok too. The ambiance and vibe is perfect ! Whether your going for breakfast or to study it is a great coffee shop environment. Come out and check them out the staff is also very sweet. If it weren’t for the slightly high prices for the pastries and food it would be 5 stars. If your coming for your coffee it is 5 stars as they offer refills ! Great gem of Watertown a must go !

Love the Iced coffee, but ....Ordered a simple scotcheroo bar, which was never delivered. Asked for my money back and was treated with suspicion. No Were Sorry about that, but more like glances St my table to see if I was lying. I gave them a half hour to deliver it.

If youre looking for the best on the go breakfast sandwich in town, this is your stop. Sausage Dakota croissant sandwich is huge and made of real ingredients. So worth a little over 5 bucks. Great atmosphere and staff. Worth trying out. Their lunch is also very good

Sometimes finding a cool-looking coffee shop on the edge of a small town feels like a jackpot! Loved loved the ambiance! Creative and kid friendly (got swings!). I got regular coffee and it was descent.

Adorable place, has a very pleasant aesthetic. The swing chairs are a nice touch and it is nicely decorated. The teas are amazing, but the lattes are comparable to something you would get from Caribou or Starbucks. The cortado is amazing and would definitely recommend! Pastries are a comparable to something from Caribou, but the buffalo chicken flatbread, and most of the rest of the menu is amazing! The salads are a little expensive for what you get, but it is filling and delicious. Watertown will definitely benefit having Backroads in town!

Tiny frittata serving...no table service even if you are wearing a wrist brace.maybe if you ask. Cappuccino was good, food just okay. Nice seating area.closes in afternoon.

Good on the higher end for prices but it has a relaxing atmosphere and a great little place to stop for lunch

Met a friend at Backroads for coffee. The coffee was spectacular and so was our conversation.

Great food and a great atmosphere! The staff and owner are great people with amazing personalities! Highly recommended

Don’t have several items on the menu, blender was broken. Sat at the window for 5 minutes before we were informed that we would not be able to get our order.

Good coffee stuff. better than ⭐💸

Have to say it again...had their pastries yesterday and again this morning ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. the entire team of employees are so pleasant, helpful and courteous.

Nice atmosphere. Dakota croissant and mocha was very good.

Great coffee and fun environment! Staff was friendly and my daughter loved the swings!

Amazing food and amazing staff

We are from out of town and my wife and I stopped for an afternoon iced coffee. It was so good. Even with added vanilla and cream it was not overly sweet and was the perfect afternoon pick me up. Their food menu looked delicious too, looking forward to trying it sometime.

Great food and it sure beats fast food!

My favorite drink so far is Brian’s PB caramel blended coffee drink! Breakfast croissant sandwich is a steal. Great price and it fills you up😋 The staff are always super nice and you have to sign up for their rewards. Easy to sign up and sign in. I’d definitely recommend coming to backroads for all your coffee needs

The BEST gluten free sandwiches that Ive found anywhere. The salads, salsa and chips are fresh and delicious as well. Highly recommended!!!

I had Backroads for the first time today and my mocha and raspberry flip was so yummy! I will for sure be coming back! I also like that they are on the north side of town!

I can’t attest to the food, but I can say the coffee is fantastic! My mom, sister and I all loved it. The atmosphere is cozy with a lot of seating. Perfect for a coffee/lunch date with a friend. There’s also a cute little kids corner with books and a window seat which I thought was a super thoughtful touch. This shop is a great addition to Watertown!

Nice location and feel, good food and pastries. Coffee is good, but not amazing for flavors. That being said, I really appreciate that drinks arent generally overly sweet, and brew/serve temp seems to matter to them.

Best coffee in town

What a find! Adorable, cozy coffee shop in an unexpected location.Their avocado toast and agave/granola toast are both great.

I love the look of this shop! However, this is the second time I’ve come into the shop and was completely ignored for a few min while the staff was more interested in talking to each other than taking my order. I had to clean of a table myself because the tables that were not used were all covered in dirty dishes. As I put the dishes on the counter, a few of the girls just looked at me, gave me a weird look and continued to talk amongst themselves. I felt too uncomfortable to stay, so I left.

Cool place, average taste in drinks, but lots of flies.

You have to get the breakfast pizza 🍕

Great people and great food.

Very good coffee. Friendly staff. The interior is very nicely done.

This was my first visit and the young man who helped me was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful!

Asian salad is to die for. Total heaven

The staff is so friendly and they have awesome food! The coffeehouse is set up so cute too!

Nice people, good coffee, good chorizo :)

Great coffee, chocolate, sandwiches, atmospheres, close to great Plains Lutheran high school. GPLHS. North 81 in Watertown.

Everything is delicious and the atmosphere is gorgeous so warm and cozy
